\definestartstop problem

\definestartstop problem

[Denis B. Roegel]

When trying the following example

\definestartstop
  [stars]
  [commandos={\inleft{\hbox to \leftmarginwidth{\leaders\hbox{$\stars$}\hfill}}},
   before=\blank,
   after=\blank]

\startstars
{\em Hasselter Juffers} are sweet cookies but the name is no
coincidence. On July 21 in 1233 the {\em Zwartewaterklooster}
(Blackwater Monastery) was founded. The monastery was meant
for unmarried girls and women belonging to the nobility of Hasselt.
These girls and women were called {\em juffers}.
\stopstars

I obtained:

\next ... \hsize \!!widtha \raggedcommand \bgroup
                                                  \localbegstrut \aftergroup...

Have I done something wrong?

Thanks,

Well, this on eis no bug, you use \stars (plural instead of \star) and 
\definestartstop also defines \stars, so you nest the commands.
